Figure + Ground
This summer, Hauser & Wirth London presents 鈥楩igure + Ground,鈥� an exhibition of selected, single-screen film and video works made by 19 leading artists from the gallery鈥檚 roster. Opening during London Gallery Weekend, the North Gallery will be transformed into a screening room for the first time.
The exhibition brings together a variety of artists whose films and videos can be interpreted as exploring the dynamic between figure and ground in diverse ways. The selection of works also spotlights the development of moving image from the late 1960s to today. From film to the advent of analogue (single channel) video technologies during the early 1970s onwards, and later digital video, this technological expansion engendered a new genre of artistic production.
